你睡美容觉了吗？ Jessica在北京学中文，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是Lulu要问的：美容觉。 Jessica：Hey Lulu，I havent seen you in ages! Hows it going? LULU: 很好很好!就是工作太忙。How are you doing yourself? Jessica: Im good! Speaking of which, some of us are going to Karaoke tonight, youve got to come with us! LULU: 我想去，但我明天得见一个大客户，我们又是公关公司，得保持好形象。所以我今天得早点回家，睡个美容觉。今天你睡美容觉了吗? Jessica: Beauty sleep? You dont need a beauty sleep, Lulu, you are always beautiful! LULU: 哈!原来美容觉就是beauty sleep!真好记。说真的，前一段时间为了搞定这个大客户，我整天加班，睡也睡不好!所以，我得回家补补觉!对了，这个补觉用美语要怎么说呀? Jessica: Let me see...you can say you need to catch up on some Zs. LULU: 啊?Catch up on some Zs? Jessica: 对啊，here we use the capital letter Z. It refers to the sound you make when you are asleep. Zzzz...you know? LULU: 哈哈，太形象了!Catch up on some Zs, 就是补觉的意思!那睡得不踏实，翻来覆去，又要怎么说呢? |
